Founded by the late Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream is a German group that played a significant role in introducing synthesizer- and sequencer-based electronic music to the Western rock world. They started as a "free-rock" band in the krautrock scene before evolving into a synthesizer-based trio signed to Virgin Records. During the mid to late 1970s, their spacey, pulsing music gained them a devoted cult following. In the late Seventies, their lineup and musical style changed towards more conventional rock music. By the early 1980s, they focused on releasing influential soundtracks before transitioning into New Age content.

Tangerine Dream was formed in Berlin in 1967 with an initial lineup that included Edgar Froese, Conrad Schnitzler (cello), and Klaus Schulze (drums). Their experimental improvisations were influenced by London's psychedelia but had a unique krautrock twist. The addition of Christopher Franke replaced Schulze for their second album, Alpha Centauri, while Peter Baumann joined for Zeit. Their signature style emerged with Phaedra released under Virgin Records in 1973 - long melodic pieces featuring understated keyboard and guitar melodies intertwined with ambient electronic textures created using synthesizers and sequencers.

Tangerine Dream have been a fundamental influence on electronic music since Edgar Froese founded the band in West Berlin, 1967. Providing the groundwork for multiple electronic music genres including ambient and electronica, inspiring musicians and other art forms, from The Future Sound of London to Porcupine Tree, the widely popular TV show ‘Stranger Things’ (for which their music also featured in) to seminal video game ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (for which they helped to write the soundtrack). The group have also received seven Grammy nominations, written over 100 studio albums and were led by Froese, who developed an instantly recognisable synth-based instrumental music based on a meditative musical experience that came to prominence in the 70’s and 80’s. Fast-forward to the present day, when popular culture is rediscovering synthe-sizers and sequencers, and Tangerine Dream are in the mix of an exciting time for an evolving electronic music scene.
